According to 2023 Strava data, the average cycling speed for leisure rides completed on pavement was 14.1 mph, and average distance for those rides was 19.2 miles. Leisure dirt rides were slower ...
Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in). [7] The offset may be implemented by curving the forks, adding a perpendicular tab at their lower ends, offsetting the fork blade sockets of the fork crown ahead of the steerer, or by mounting the forks into the crown at an angle to the steer tube.
According to a study a human at 70 kg (150 lb) requires about 60 watts to walk at 5 km/h (3.1 mph) on firm and flat ground, [6] while according to a calculator at kreuzotter.de the same person and power output on an ordinary bicycle will travel at 15 km/h (9.3 mph), [7] so in these conditions the energy expenditure of cycling is about one-third ...

Up until 2023, the UCI limited junior riders to a rollout distance of 7.93 metres (~99 gear inches). [1] [2] Some national cycling federations limit rollout distances for younger riders. [3] [4] For example, a common junior gearing until 2023 was 52 teeth on the largest ring at the crank, and 14 as the heaviest gear available in the rear wheel. [5]
However, the VO2 max benefits of cycling can be greater than the VO2 max benefits of walking, because cycling can generally be performed at a higher intensity for longer durations than walking ...
The epicyclic gears used within hub gears have more scope for varying the number of teeth than do derailleur sprockets, so it may be possible to get much closer to the ideal of consistent relative differences, e.g. the Rohloff Speedhub offers 14 speeds with an average relative difference of 13.6% and individual variations of around 0.1%.
